I have both systems installed here, and I must say that I'm impressed by the AGNULA core system. Yes, it's not pretty (yet), but it's well designed where it counts, and the 1.1 release promises to bring the system into a more up to date condition. I'm not sure when AGNULA 1.1 will be ready for release but I'm sure it's Real Soon Now. ;) Next month's column for the Linux Journal On-line will briefly describe my experiences with PlanetC and AGNULA.
